Game freezes

[slimatwar]

No matter which scenario I play, the game freezes after some time of playing and also the whole system behaves strangely so I need to reboot my PC.[&:][:@]

What version of the game? Steam vs Matrix? A little to go on here...

Did you reinstall/install recently? Are all the prerequisites installed?

Are their any overlays running? https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3954156

[slimatwar]

Version is the latest 1147.30. Installation from Matrix. No Nahimic in my system.
I reinstalled the game after the problem appeared but the problem persists. I had never such problems before. Prerequisites are OK.
Which overlays do you mean? I use only the in-game layers. I use BMNG and relief(sometimes).
I'm trying now defragmentation (HDD not SSD).

[thewood1]

Since no one else is reporting this issue when upgrading, I'm assuming its something that changed in your configuration. I'm assuming it was running before the upgrade.

By Overlays, I mean like MSI, nVidia, Steam, or audio enhancers like nahimic, etc.

[slimatwar]

I played for several minutes after the defragmentation and no issue appeared. I hope.

[thewood1]

I personally have never seen fragmentation stop a program from running. Also, with the speed of hard drives today, fragmentation isn't the big speed impact it used to be. I would guess it was something else.

[slimatwar]

[:-]NO. The game froze again after a few minutes of playing.[:@]

[thewood1]

I suspected it wasn't a fragmentation issue. So you didn't change anything and it went from working to not working?

It might be helpful if you ran DxDiag and posted up the resulting file.

You might also want to take a look at the Windows event log. It isn't always helpful, but sometimes you'll find some other issue contributing to your issue.

Also, if you haven't already, when you start CMO go to the Games Option menu and turn on 'Log debug information to file', IIRC this creates a file ExceptionLog.txt and places it in the CMO Log folder. That file might contain useful information.

HTH

One thing to be really, really careful about is moving CMO or changing the directory. Matrix installers force you to keep the game in its original install directory. If you move it, when you do updates, it'll put the updates into the original folders and recreate start up icons pointing at it. I have run into that a couple times.

What about the ExceptionLog.txt file ?

[slimatwar]

The ExceptionLog.txt file somewhere reports:

5/10/2021 11:07:36 μμ -- B1147.30 -- Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Stack Trace: at . .() (between the two points there is a small rectangle)
Call Stack & Error details:
Error at 200410, Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

There are many paragraphs reporting this, all of them at the 5th of October and at different times.Do you want the file uploaded?

[Dimitris]

Yes, please.

[slimatwar]

I think the culprit (99%) is HW monitor. The games never freezes when HW monitor is not open.

Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

This part of the error has nothing to do with HW Monitor, But there are other erorrs that could be because of the HW Monitor

I have a lot of these error messages beside these you mention too..
And also have disposed object erorrs that are usually coding errors.... (See best practices for dispose patterns)

I'm getting occasional slowdowns and freezes too in the first Red Tide scenario. First time in years it happens for me in CMO.

As the devs always ask, it would help to post this to a seperate tech thread. Its highly unlikely these are related.

[Count Sessine]

ok

[Dimitris]

Is this still an issue ?

Yes.
